Cannot believe you're 6 today

Precious Daniyal, today marks your 6th birthday and every year its both a happy and emotional occasion. Emotional more for me as i realise how fast time is just going.

My Darling boy, the way you have grown, developed, adapted to a new life, and embraced every change no matter what has happened makes me so proud to be your Mommy.

You my precious person are the reason I am a Mommy. You made me a Mommy. Everything I know and am is because of you. The love I have, give and show is all because of what you have taught me.

Psalm 139: 13 -16
“For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

You my baby although not planned is exactly what I needed to get my life back in order. You saved me, taught me about responsibility, about love, we grew up together.

I always knew I wanted to be a Mom one day, my one day however just came sooner than I ever expected and you were the most perfect little person. A blessing of a baby. Easy, loveable, happy, blessed. God could not have selected a more perfect little person to call my Son (in the words of Ma Ron, “My Son, My Son, My FIRST born Son”).

My pregnancy with you was not the easiest, stress free time which most people experience. It was filled with hurt, pain, stress and many other things.

I was young, naive and thought I could do this all on my own. Few friends, not on speaking terms with my family and in a bad space, bad relationship and heading towards a bad future.

The blessing however came the day you were born, the minute you breathed your first breath outside of your safe and secure world, 09:39am. From the first time I held you in my arms I knew that something had changed. I wanted the best life for you and I was determined to get it. To give you everything you needed and deserved. My little Prince, I didn’t know what the next few minutes, days, months or years would hold for us but i knew without a doubt that I would try my hardest to be the BEST Mother I could for you.

I chose your name on the day you were born. The name Daniyal is actually a variation of the Hebrew name Daniel where it means “God is my judge”.

Those who didn’t know us or know our story, your story will never really appreciate and understand you and I. Our bond. Your meaning. How special you are to me.

My baby, I fought for you from before you were born.

Jeremiah 1 : 5
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Today my Darling, marks six wonderful years of you in my life. My life has never been the same and I hope never will. You bring such joy and adventure to my life and everyone around you. You challenge me daily, to do better, try harder and to be the best Mother I can.

As you grow, I grow. You are a wonderful little boy and I’m so proud to be a part of your life. I cannot wait to share your story with you and watch as you grow into the Godly man you were destined to be.

Happy birthday my little love. The world is a better place with you in it.
